Hello. Can you explain first what would be the possible outcome if a person eat all of those foods?

you probably won't die.

Lol thats a great quote, and what happens if someone does die, any compensation for that outcome?
I know it's a long shot.

I think the most they'd get is diarrhea or vomit; I'm not even sure that would happen in >10% of cases

maybe bloating; if you feel sudden pain and worried about your appendix then definitely go to the hospital, seek medical attention

i wont risk my appendix or whatever for just a $100 dollars worth, worst case if it leaves a permanent effect on my body

I'm a chubby guy...I'd fuckin do it... I'll convince my girlfriend to go buy us a watermelon and taco bell...Yeaaaaaa 100$ here i come.

Hey Guys, it took me less than 10 minutes to eat what was in front of me. I feel no ill affects at all. To each their own.

Now I just want to get a few things straight from FutureMoneyTrends.

1/ You said I could stop recording and start recording as long as I show my watch and the time when I do record right?

2/ You said that you need clear video of the food and my hands showing the food going into my mouth to prove I'm not cheating right?

3/ You said the calories could not be counted from beverages, deserts or side dishes right?

4/ You said I should record any adverse affects I might experience within two hours after eating each stage. Does this mean you want to have me record eliminating anything in a normal way? Or are you just wanting me to record any vomiting or other unfortunate mishaps?

5/Those mishaps, if any, only count for the 2 hours after the consumption of both courses of the challenge right?

6/ You said you've sent $40.00USD in bitcoin to devthedev for escrow and will send the $60.00 balance in a couple days right?

7/ I'd like to be able to send you the video once I know the funds are in escrow. As in confirmation from devthedev that it is there.

8/ I'll forward the videos to both you and devthedev as proof that I've done my part.

9/ Is there a time limit for me to get those videos to you? If so would you agree to within 12 hours of confirmation that devthedev has your end?

10/ I am not a doctor, some folks think I might do myself harm. I am taking a possible serious risk, one that you have clearly stated that you are not responsible for if something should happen. I accept those terms and hope for the best. Will you address these 10 points so that we all know what page we're on?

I feel the need for clarity on these points because although I might not have a problem with 1.5 pounds of breakfast, even two days in a row, but 6 pounds of watermelon is where I believe I'm really gonna be earning those satoshis. These watermelons are seedless but I just very well might be projectile vomiting those satoshis all over the bleeding hearts in my garden. And yes I'll do my best to catch that...as it happens...but I never did like throwing up. It makes me sick.  

Awaiting your reply FutureMoneyTrends...let me know if I've missed something. I already went full tilt into this thinking there was no limit to how many participants you were willing to compensate for completing this challenge. Now I know it's only one...and I'm it.

i made some research for you guys..


Although primarily considered safe and beneficial, 30 mg or more of the lycopene in watermelon can potentially cause adverse side effects. Consuming large amounts of lycopene-rich foods, such as tomatoes and watermelon, may result in gastrointestinal disturbances. The American Cancer Society reports that one investigation observed the effects of a lycopene-rich supplement on a patient. The patient took a tomato supplement containing 15 mg of lycopene twice daily and experienced intestinal problems such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, indigestion and bloating.


goodluck guys..

[fdylstyx]

Good to know dznuts85. Thanks for that, there must be a reason I don't like watermelon. That's the risk I take...I'll do a bit of research on my own but if all consuming 6 pounds amounts to is an intense system flush...I'm still game.

Wonder if FMT was aware of this and already knows what to expect.

You got a bet with a co-worker that you could get someone to eat 6 pounds of watermelon FutureMoneyTrend? Eh? Eh?

I'll check it out. Thanks for the concern guys. Much appreciated.

Ok...there are some risks involved in eating too much watermelon. Lowered blood pressure being one of them. Mine's a little high so maybe just this once won't be so bad. It can also cause arrhythmia. I have Nitro spray if I need it. I might blow a gasket and have to go in for another stent but I find that highly improbable.

Generally consuming watermelon in moderation has many health benefits. I think maybe after this I just might be able to get past the taste. Maybe the mini seedless ones I got at Walmart will taste better.

I'm good to go,

K, it's been a little more than two hours since I finished eating so I should record that fact to show I'm not turning green, or blue.

fdyl

Thanks! well since you already determined on the challenge; its not really needed to escrow, I'll just send directly to you one I see the video

Uhm.. isn't the point of escrow a guarantee that he/she will get their money after the challenge? Anyways...

[FutureMoneyTrends]

I've sent the initial $40 I had to devscrow:

[fdylstyx]

Hi FMT, I've been in touch with devthedev and I hope you don't mind me waiting until he lets me know he's got possession of the full $100 in BTC. It just seems the right way to go on this.

How about, in the meantime you check that list of 10 things I'd like confirmed/cleared up. I didn't go to Taco Time this morning because the silence was getting a little too loud.

I'm not sure which time zone you're in but I'm in Pacific Standard Time so that may be causing a few hiccups. It's 11:21 AM here.

what do you eat? You already risk your appendix every day

Right. Recording after the taco's is not necessary but just your thoughts. After the watermelon comes the test of what that does; if vomit then try to record that; no nudity necessary; toilet action would be appreciated if happens; reactions on camera better etc. but I'd appreciate more thoughts in text after of what you felt and what you think happened.

Time to deliver video is fine. Risk is not that big but always up to you; you decided to eat these yes.

[devthedev]

0.1694 is currently being held in escrow.

[fdylstyx]

Yeah...I kinda got that it was all about the 6lbs of watermelon after realizing how easy it was to scarf down 1700+ calories at Taco Time.

I'm still down for this. Just gonna wait for devthedev to post here that it's a go.

Thanks for the follow up, I'm headed for the hills sometime this weekend. Signal's pretty weak but my girl's got a laptop with intermittent connection problems and I'll have my phone to record from there if it happens that devthedev posts. I'll bring the watermelons with me and just do a run down the mountain to a local Taco Time there.

In other words, I'm on it.

That's great to see devthedev. I'll be hyped when you report somewhere in the range of 0.4216 is being held by you.

Looking forward to that update.

[FutureMoneyTrends]

devthedev now has a total of $100 for fdylstyx to complete the challenge in full

[fdylstyx]

K...I'm on it as soon as he confirms here in this thread. Still haven't gotten rid of that last 1700+ calories from yesterday morning but I'll be ready to do it all again tomorrow regardless.

You can expect to have everything from me by sundown Sunday. My time, that all good with you FMT?
